Smartkarma has partnered with CorpXSasia to offer one-stop services for corporate access and independent insight for Asian markets.

According to Smartkarma, they will be able to make sure that these clients are better serviced in their need for critical and quality insights whether prior to or during a reverse roadshow, or as part of the follow-up.
Smartkarma’s cloud-based platform enables access to over 450 insight providers, which covers in excess of 2,400 companies across 15 Asia Pacific markets.
Arjen Kuenen, founder and managing director of CorpXSasia, noted: “This new partnership enables CorpXSasia clients to interact directly with experts and analysts on the ground across Asia.”
Kuenen added: “They can now access unconflicted insights, adding unprecedented value to their Reverse Roadshow or Thematic Roadshow.”
